How far away is a rainbow when it is formed?
It is hard to judge how far away a rain cloud is especially if it's moving. The rainbow's distance extends from the nearest to the farthest raindrops that contribute any part of the colored light. The closest of these raindrops may be miles away. In the case of water spray from a lawn sprinkler in which a rainbow appears, you can reach right in and "touch it"....or so it seems. Many questions are unique to one's cultural history. Hoped This Helped.
How could rainbow made in sky?
Rainbows are caused by sunlight glinting off tiny water particles in the sky, bouncing the light back towards the observer. In other words, any time you see a rainbow directly in front of you, the Sun is directly behind you, and your shadow points at the center of the circle the rainbow is describing. There are 2 types of rainbows. One that is formed in the sky and one that is formed by mist. But they both have something in common. All rainbows are formed by water or moisture and light put together and makes a rainbow. That's why you see rainbows right after rain.
Photochemical smog is formed when primary pollutants interact with?
Sunlight
How does soil form and what is soil made of?
Soil is made up of dead decayed organisms, silt, clay, etc. and it's formed when nutrients gather in the ground and they spread around and sunlight shines through.

Is in a rainbow shadow will form?
A rainbow can be formed when sunlight shining from behind you, passes through raindrops ahead of you, and is split into separate colours.
When is rainbow formed?
When sunlight passes through raindrops, the drops scatter the light which then appears to the onlooker to form a band of colors in the sky - or as we call it, a rainbow.
How does a prism create a rainbow pattern of light?
White light is really all the colors of light, red to indigo, combined together. Running the light through a prism (including raindrops) splits those colors out separately because each light bends a little more or less than its neighboring colors when going through the prism (or raindrops).
Can the rainbow be seen at all times of the day?
No, a rainbow has to be formed by raindrops and sun mixed together.
What is a rainbow and how are they formed?
the white light gets made into a spectrum when it goes through the raindrops, but you also need the sun to shine to produce te white light
Does a rainbow exist in particular place in the sky?
yes because in side of sunlight is formed opposite side rainbow is formed due to the reflection of sunlight in rain drops
Why a rainbow is formed?

Rainbows are formed when the sun breaks up moonlight?

How raindrops and prisms produce colors from white light?
This website is awesome at explaining what is a rainbow and how it forms etc... http://www.myuniversalfacts.com/2006/04/how-rainbows-are-formed-what-causes.html The sun's light has wavelengths of many different colors, and when it rains there are many raindrops on the ground and the light refracts the light into a continuous band of colors. Check out that website for more detailed information about "white light" such as the sun's light and how it has wave lengths of colors...

How is a rainbow formed after a rain shower?
The light shines through the water
Why ca you see a rainbow on a cloudy day?
A rainbow is formed when sunlight passes through a water droplet and refracts into the entire colour spectrum. You can see a rainbow when it is cloudy because there are far more water droplets in the sky, and therefore more chances that you will see a rainbow. Rainbows, however , are far more common during a sun shower, as there is more unreflected light in the sky
